1. BackTrack The newest contender on the block of course is BackTrack, which we have spoken about previously. An innovative merge between WHax and Auditor (WHax formely WHoppix). BackTrack is the result of the merging of two Innovative Penetration Testing live Linux distributions Whax and Auditor, combining the best features from both distributions, and paying [...]
Well seen as though I tell the others to do some kind of introduction, probably I should do one for myself too. Then I started out with a Spectrum ZX-81 back in the olden days, typing whole games out of the Spectrum magazines I picked up from charity shops. Yah it had no tape drive, [...]
This could be the end of reverse engineering in France sadly, I hope it doesn’t have repucussions in other parts of the world. I think it’s the end of using reverse engineering tools to find flaws in France. Maybe the next step will be to forbid the possession of debuggers and disassemblers. It’s a valid [...]
Lab rats at Microsoft Research and the University of Michigan have teamed up to create prototypes for virtual machine-based rootkits that significantly push the envelope for hiding malware and that can maintain control of a target operating system. The proof-of-concept rootkit, called SubVirt, exploits known security flaws and drops a VMM (virtual machine monitor) underneath [...]
The new “features” this time are primarily performance improvements possible due to the use of better algorithms (bringing more inherent parallelism of trying multiple candidate passwords down to processor instruction level), better optimized code, and new hardware capabilities (such as AltiVec available on PowerPC G4 and G5 processors). In particular, John the Ripper 1.7 is [...]
Types of activities that will become illegal under the proposed laws include making or supplying “hacking tools”- computer programmes or code that can help crack passwords or bypass security systems – and will be punishable by up to two years in prison. Isn’t this legitimate action for any security enthusiast, hobbiest or professional involved in [...]
1. Introduction This article describes and partly implements a method to delete or re-locate, potentially sensitive and / or incriminating information from your UNIX flavoured machine, after the sad event of your death. An older version of this article has been published before, yet it has since disappeared from the Internet and the Google cache; [...]
4. Brief How-to …. Creating Multiple clients to Single site tunnels. Example of using PKI to create a client-to-site VPN: For a road warrior or roaming/multiple user scenario, static keys based VPNs don’t scale well. You will need to implement a PKI if you have Hub and Spoke architecture of VPN. From the OpenVPN.net website: [...]
Windows Rootkits are a big rarity in this modern web hacking tehnology… I won’t speak exactly about rootkits, because it’s impropriate to call them that way… why? Well rootkits are programs that aid you in getting access to root level users… So in the case we are using Windows rootkits we should call them admkits [...]
3. Brief How-to ….. OpenVPN and Site-to-Site Tunnels. OpenVPN can be implemented either Site-to-site or client-server model. I will take example configurations of both models. If you want to implement site-to-site configuration, the best way is to use static-keys instead of PKI. Using static keys, you can have your VPN tunnel up and running in [...]
